Eeeh, not really tbn, I'm feeling pretty down in the dumps tonight. I'm unsure why. I think I just feel kind of defeated and hopeless both on a personal and grand scale.

Hopefully it's just a bout of depression? I hate to say Hopefully, like it's a positive outcome (I'm sure it doesn't feel like one!), but it's hopefully something that'll have a limited duration. Like your brain has indigestion: some random thought or unwanted emotion clogging up the gears.

Is there anything you can do to take your mind off of it? Play a game, watch a video, anything?

Washed my dad’s car and that helped quite a bit, got me out of my own head.

I’m still trying to figure out if I need to adjust my medication. I’ve been having a lot of lethargy and a lack of interest in things.

Maybe. I used to have anger issues until I switched to a gluten-free diet so perhaps it might be the stuff you're ingesting.

It's all right, guys, I defeated the Meggido.

Here I have some lovely scented bird seed he could eat. Just please ignore the skulls and bio-hazard warnings all over it.

Hmmm should I say something horribly inappropriate or not risked getting banned here? Ahhh . . . so hard to choose.

Be glad this is not discord, I am at least behaved here.

hahah, I shall be grateful for these small mercies. :p

Guess who just defeated cancer bitches

He's BA~AAACK!!!

Nice to see you again mate! Congratulations on defeating cancer!

Reading the old Ex-Aid rumors and discussion thread, along with any info about Ex-Aid during his first leaks, really funny seeing everyone's reaction.

You mean how people compared Ex-Aid to Jojo stands?

First reactions to things are often hilarious. I will always treasure old threads.

People's reaction to finding out about Gaim's writer was equally hilarious.

Those and the

"What?! That's not a Kamen Rider!"

"Where's the bug eyes?! The antenna?!"

"Eughhh PINK!"

"This is the start of Kamen Rider's downfall!"

"I like the colors and video game aesthetic though."

"What is that chibi THING?!"

It's all so good to look at. Fast forward a year later and Ex-Aid is mostly regarded as a good show.

Funnily enough Ex-Aid's designs is what convinced me to check out Kamen Rider. Okay, I stumbled onto Gaim's designs first via the Figuarts and was intrigued but Ex-Aid really pushed me into watching.

Ex-Aid's designs are a treasure

Most reactions I remember are "Oh I guess the show is bad".

Not "I don’t like the designs", not "Not for me, pass", but specifically "Well, this will be bad".

I couldn’t wrap my head around how people were so adamant that the show would be bad based on leaked images of the suits.

To be fair! I had that same mindset when I stumbled onto Ex-Aid's design while I was on a break from KR during Ghost. A bizarre design that probably means taking the franchise in an uncertain direction, and that scares people.

Of course, I did pick it up when I went back to the franchise for Build and watched it along and became one of my well-liked shows.

It's a lesson I learned and many probably and/or should have. Never judge a toku based solely on its suits.

What, the entire constellation?

Seriously though, congrats!!

Jokes on them, Kamen Rider peaked with SD, it's been downhill ever since.

I think the funny thing is, like... alright, sure, Ex-Aid was arguably pushing it further; but by that point it's not like Kamen Rider digging into weirder wackier designs was anything new. Drive, Fourze, Gaim... you basically just had all those in a row and all of them had main designs that are very out of line with what you'd expect from Rider. There's a reason they saw a trend and really decided they needed to go back to basics with Build's main design!

Congrats! hug

I mean, after Fourze, rider designs were basically a free-for-all. But yes, Ex-Aid pushed it as far as they could, to the point they look so odd when next to other riders. It's so good.

Also, I thought the reason Build was so back-to-basics was cuz they thought Heisei was ending in 2017 and so they thought Build was the final heisei rider. Which is probably also his crossover movie was called HeiGen Final.

CONGRATS DUDE! Knew you'd pull through!

An achievement of which Emu and probably Kuroto would be proud of! You a fighter!

:rock::rock::rock::rock::rock:

Congrats! I hope your recovery goes well!

Hard work and persistence pays off! Congratulations! Best of all, you're celebrating the correct way: showing up on the TokuNation boards to let your friends know the good news. So thanks!

Congratulations, pal!

Meanwhile, I'm fighting allergies...

My PlayStation 4 system came in today so I'm curious to see how it looks.

Send help. (And points if you can guess which ones)

Wizard caught my curiosity. Gaim got my attention. If you can guess why, exactly, Gaim pulled me in, I will give you a JPEG of a cookie.

Long-time members and/or people who have known me for a while are excluded from this promotion

I don't remember my exact reaction but I want to say I was on in the "Interesting, let's see how this plays out" crowd. Either way if you told me that by the end of the show I'd have a new Greatest Rider Of All Time to dethrone Ren, I'd probably have called you a liar.

Time for revenge.

Seriously, congrats comrade. That's no small feat and I've known too many who couldn't pull it off.

Er, shooting into the wild here but I'm gonna guess Fate related? Maybe Castoria?

So close.

The blue ones.

Always the right answer, but not specific enough in this case. And also only 3/4s correct.

Yes!! I got my unemployment for the past 7 weeks sorted plus my two stimulus checks plus my federal tax return so that’s a lot of money.

Congrats! I'm loving this Good News Only version of the thread!

The Navy Blue ones?

Cute avii. Who is it? (asks a stupid question)

Fool you can never defeat me!

<-~~~ Is a Cancer

Seriously though that is great to hear.

G36 from Girls' Frontline.

I bet I would make a great teacher.

Scared to ask but what exactly do you plan on teaching?
